Pleural empyema as a focal infection due to serovar Enteritidis is rare and most commonly described among immunosuppressed patients or patients who suffer from sickle cell anaemia and lung malignancies.
Here, we present an 81-year-old immunocompetent Greek woman with bacteraemia and pleural empyema due to Enteritidis without any gastrointestinal symptoms.
In our case, we suggest that patient's pleural effusion secondary to heart failure was complicated by empyema and that focal intravascular infection was the cause of bacteraemia.
由肠炎血清型引起的胸膜积脓作为一种局灶性感染较为罕见，最常见于免疫抑制患者或患有镰状细胞贫血和肺部恶性肿瘤的患者。
在此，我们报告一名81岁免疫功能正常的希腊女性，她因肠炎沙门氏菌感染导致菌血症和胸膜积脓，且无任何胃肠道症状。
在我们的病例中，我们认为患者继发于心力衰竭的胸腔积液因积脓而复杂化，局灶性血管内感染是菌血症的原因。
